i. The unity of the Jewish people, its bond to its historic homeland Eretz Yisrael, and the centrality of the State of Israel and Jerusalem, its capital, in the life of the nation.
ii. Aliyah to Israel from all countries and the effective integration of all immigrants into Israeli Society.
iii. Strengthening Israel as a Jewish, Zionist and democratic state and shaping it as an exemplary society with a unique moral and spiritual character, marked by mutual respect for the multi-faceted Jewish people, rooted in the vision of the prophets, striving for peace and contributing to the betterment of the world.
iv. Ensuring the future and the distinctiveness of the Jewish people by furthering Jewish, Hebrew and Zionist education, fostering spiritual and cultural values and teaching Hebrew as the national language.

iv. Kehilla (Community): FZY believes ‘Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh la Zeh’ (all Israel are responsible for one another), expressed as mutual Jewish responsibility. FZY believes whole-heartedly in working within the Jewish Community, in concert with other youth movements in the United Kingdom and in Israel.
